Persistence and grit are valuable characteristics admired by others. Yet, there are times that these qualities may not be most beneficial to us. There are times when walking away makes sense.
In moments of tension and where emotions run high, taking a step away for a short time may help the situation. Space can often provide an alternate perspective.
When someone or an organization chooses not to respond to you and eliminate you from their world, it is likely best to walk away.
After all, if you want others to respect you, you may need to begin with self-respect.
Walking away does not mean you do not care about something but instead suggests that you care about yourself and respect yourself even more.
